{Meant for Tuesday Had to Repost Due To Techinal Difficulties,Sorry} -Move Your Weight or Move and Wait

Everyone has that one friend who doesn't know how to do anything on their own. Now when first meeting that friend they seem so cute and naive that helping helping isn't only a boost to  ones morale but a fun adventure that only sharpens the skills  of said helper.However as time wears on always sticking your neck, arm and mind out for that friend becomes less of a  fun puzzle to solve and more of a daunting task. The friend also becomes less grateful and more expectant over time, mentally equating  the friendship not with the the joyous times and laughter shared but how much can be done for them on your time and dime. In the average situation most helpers push the obnoxious behavior of the helped aside because regardless of all else they still care.  Nonetheless, after the consistent lack of appreciation and entitled attitude, it'd be best for the helper to reevaluate the magnitude of the friendship. The helped has clearly gone from a kind slightly lost individual in need of a little guidance to a rude,aggravating, lazy, self-serving mongrel, and the helper needs to put more focus into his/herself. Sometimes its okay to focus on oneself, never feel guilty for being on top of your game when others are dragging their heels behind you. This is not to imply that helping a friend isn't one of the attributes to a healthy, hearty relationship but do realize it is NOT YOUR OBLIGATION to spoon feed their way through life. Furthermore, if one is a real friend to begin with then they should outrageously protest at the thought of the helper putting their life on a pregnant pause just to ensure another individual's personal success. In no way shape or form is that a true friend if that circumstance is handled anyway otherwise. If the helped refuse to understand that you have aspirations to conquer as well, then it must be made clear that they  need  to do what is necessary to survive and thrive. As opposed to stepping aside while someone who's earn it gets the opportunities lost, simply due to sheer lack of drive.
